Define and drive color strategies across the portfolio-blending consumer insights, design vision, and brand storytelling.

Partner with Design and Marketing to create cohesive, inspiring color narratives for product launches and brand campaigns.

Manage regional exclusives, collaborations, and limited drops to differentiate YETI and excite our most loyal consumers.

Monitor colorway performance and continually refine the mix for maximum impact.

Operational Excellence:

Ensure flawless execution of assortment details in PLM systems, timelines, and go-to-market tools.

Collaborate cross-functionally to deliver on deadlines while elevating merchandising quality and consistency.

5-6 years of experience in merchandising, product management, or category management; consumer goods, lifestyle, or outdoor industries preferred.

Proven track record of building global assortments and color strategies that drive both commercial success and brand heat.

Strong analytical chops in assortment planning, SKU productivity, and sales analysis-balanced with creative instincts for storytelling and trend relevance.

Experience managing multi-region portfolios and tailoring assortments across diverse markets.

Excellent project management, influencing, and communication skills-able to lead cross-functional teams in a fast-paced environment.
